Unlikely the premium version, the free version cannot do a scheduled scan, so you need to open the program manually by clicking the scan to check whether there is a malware detected or not. After a scan, Malwarebytes Free will list the files that are detected as your malware. You can remove it or choose to quarantine the files by placing it in the secure area on your system. By choosing Ignore them this time if you need that files at this moment, or Exclude Them from all future scans, if you know that file is not a malware.

I suggest you not to remove the detected files directly if you are in doubt. Choose a quarantine and the further inspection first. You can restore that quarantine files if you find that you still need it. The other features that are not available in a free version are a quick scan and a download definition automatically.

If you want to upgrade to a premium version, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software provides a Buy Premium button on the right-top corner. You can get great features, such as Prevent Access To and From Malicious Website, Real-time Protection, Quick Scan, and more. Even though Malwarebytes Free version has a limitation, but it’s enough for some users.
